This exercise frustrated me a couple of times as I kept running inwards in my drawing and couldn’t keep it all in a breathable ‘even’ drawing. I think that is because I felt constrained by the directions plus my narrow approach and observation of things. Also, the small area I decided to do this, my backyard. May be, walking on the streets would have been better. I think that in order to do a better map requires a SPACIAL understanding of where we are going and the area we are trying to cover. In this case I just let the directions tell me where to go and I used any visually appealing element determine the stoppage point at each stage of the exercise. It is what it is because I let it be that way without forcing any decision too much.
